Default Second Annual Midwest Sports Collectors Convention (Detroit Aug 20-22, 1971)

Picked this up a while back, finally got around to scanning it. A true blast from the past: Topps' black bordered cards were current, the US was still embroiled in Vietnam and Joe Torre was on his way to winning the NL MVP. And to really put it in perspective this was 42 years ago and 42 years prior to that the stock market was about to crash in 1929. Part 2 follows this due to image limitations on the forum. Enjoy!

I see Bill Mastro in one of those photos. I wonder how he's doing now?

Yeah, He looked sorta like "The Fonz".
Also, thought I saw a net54 Goudey collector mentioned on there. The old hobby publications are cool.

Default Completely off topic, but

the use of the phrase "Midwest" always makes me chuckle, especially when Detroit is not in the mid of anything (north, south, east or west) and especially not west of anything, except maybe New York.
